Mighty Mama!

Keeping my family healthy and fed is a full time job in itself. It has been easy to neglect my own health in the busyness of raising a family. My eating habits have become progressively worse in direct relation to my lack of sleep. Since the births of my last 2 children, I have become very inactive and have put on a lot of weight. I stay up later than I should at night, desperate for a few moments to myself after the children go to bed and for a little 'couple time' with my husband. All put together, it has been a recipe for disaster with my health.

The first change we have made is to start the Whole 30 program. Basically, we have eliminated all dairy, grains, legumes and sugar for our diet in order to reset our relationship with food and to reset our bodies. It has been amazing, our waists are smaller, our chronic pain has lessened and our cravings decreased. Get the book here.

Next, I am going to go to bed earlier and add daily exercise. Baby stepping our way to better health.

Welcome to My Life

I am a Christian, a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a student, a teacher, a reader, a writer, a photographer, a digital scrapbooker, a homemaker, an entrepreneur, and I am a woman. A woman who is always learning and growing and thankfully one who is still 'morphing' into the woman that God wants me to be.

Cast of Characters

The Boy: My 19 year old, firstborn son. Reader, thinker, musician, sketcher, volunteer, and one of the most empathetic people I have ever met.

Super boy: My 16 year old second born son. Extrovert, leader, comedian, this boy lives full out and has never met someone who wasn't a new best friend.

Kalila: Our first baby girl who was stillborn 12 years ago this past April. We longed for her arrival and will miss her until we greet her one day in heaven.

Dr. J (previously known as Monkey Boy): 10 year old son, the name says it all. Physical, playful, sensitive. My monkey doesn't stop running until his head hits the pillow at night. Unless he is reading. Or Minecrafting.

Girly: My girly girl 9 year old. She loves pink, frills and playing Star Wars with her brothers. She is full of the diva, but in the sweetest way. She runs these boys with a wink and a smile and only the occasional shriek.

Zed:

Baby Sunshine (aka Mighty Baby #7): 7??? Our surprise baby, God's beautiful blessing arrived on October 13th, 2010. He is a cheerful, smiling fellow, loves to watch his siblings in action and yells just as loud to be a part of the action. He just started saying Mum mum!!
